I'm assembling the front of a 7.3 out of a van now in my truck.
I thought I kept all the pump pieces from the van in order to swap out the mess of a pump/reservoir that came with my truck. But I'm missing some sort of spacer that would fit behind the van's saginaw pump to make up for difference in depth between the two pumps' frames. The van's pump has a steel frame around the pump whereas the truck's c2 has a cast aluminum frame that is the full depth to meet the backing bracket on the head.
The cast aluminum backing bracket is identical as far as I can tell. The steel front bracket is slightly different on the van but either would work it seems
I'm resigned to putting some kind of socket or pipe spacer in there (pretty sure I'm shooting for the same measure as the aluminum c2 frame) but I would like to know what I'm looking for if anyone can share the setup on their van or on their swap setup.
Also, anyone have a proper configuration of crank and water pump pulley and spacer for allignment?
Thanks and Cheers!
